Abstract:

Dissertation Reviews is an online website providing detailed reviews of PhD theses in history of science and East Asian history, edited by Leon Antonio Rocha (Cambridge) and Thomas Mullaney (Stanford). I was invited to launch the science studies section of the site with my review of a 2011 University of Cambridge PhD thesis in history of science and medicine.
